[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell them you're sorry but you already promised it to another friend whose family is coming to town that week.  Say you just feel terribly and wish you had known, but you cant exactly ask that family to not stay since you already promised them your house.  Do NOT GIVE IN and let them stay.  Seriously, sounds terrible.  They stay for free and dont even clean up after themselves and leave it in the condition they found it? Forget it![/quote]

This seems like a good white lie.

Or you can say it isn't a good week and if they keep pressing why - say you are hosting your boss for dinner the day after you come back and you need for the house for to be pristine. Boss is severly allergic - maybe they will offer to put dog in the kennel or be extra conscious of keeping clean. Worse case scenario - you come home to a huge mess and you tell them you are very dissappointed and then you have every reason to say no in the future. Keep master bedroom off limits at a minimum.
